Had a hatred of polesaws from my powerline days. Used to use stihl and tried echo and Husqvarna also. Must have had 4 or 5 at one stage and there was always one in for repair. i bought the battery husqvarna last year mainly for one job but now use it loads, mostly from basket. .Battery lasts hours as mostly only cutting 2 to 3 inch timber. also husqvarna polesaws and top handers don’t seem to fling the chain as easily as stihl ones

What make is the crane? do the slew cylinders rotate with the boom? (I know, I’m sad)

Anyone used or know of anyone selling any tree loppers for excavator

I think 300mm would be a big ask for a 4 tonner -
Wilsons have a sheilsing 440 pto at the moment. Would handle most stuff you’d feed by hand
-
I think you’d need at least 90 horsepower for that chipper. The older farmis weren’t the best on conifers

Can’t see a problem with dismantle video. Didn’t notice where branches to close to boom tbh. fine to let all down if there’s a machine to sort after. When dismantling with mewp where theres not enough space for tractor/crane and chipping has to be done by hand we would drop for maybe 10 minutes then clear the deck then repeat. Easy to come down and help and no energy wasted getting back up again . i imagine Bobcat would destroy most of the sites we work on. An awful lot of shunting just to turn a limb around. mini digger/ grab/rotator much more efficient and gentle to site.also I’d say smaller area to rake afterwards. Just my thoughts Enjoyed both videos

Did nptc cutting from mewp using top handed saw. Cuts are pretty much same as with climbing and you are supposed to keep saw outside of basket

What type of splitter? own engine or tractor driven?

God damn zipper-heads!

“What goes on toor should stay on tour “. And all that?

Noticed some fine stuff spitting out side of chipper today around cover where you change blades. A piece of casing had broken away leaving a small gap . Was wondering if this was a common occurrence with this model or has something solid got in there? theres no damage to blades.

Manager of sawmill we used to cut for. ”I’d cut more with my flute!!”

Pm sent. i would go for ST8 . You will recover the price difference in productivity in two months

Both nice nimble tractors for winching or yard work but would be a bit light for pulling forwarding trailer? vallmet would be easier to guard and engine and gearing well suited to forestry type work. new Holland probably easier to sell on and get parts for. Have had Fiats in the woods and liked them
-
Same around here, evenings and weekends. theres loads of forestry roads they could use but they like to be seen. i think some of them are indulging there Lycra fetishes at the same time

For trailer mount ?
-
You need to bring pics of numbers etc in to a good engine re-manafacturers. they will advise on best options and will know if engine is commonly used in Uk. It may well be model used in some generators or compressors. also google search ‘engine for Vermeer bc625’ , and check out USA forums like tree buzz

I wish all sycamores would have small leaves ? sorry!
-
Can’t see fwd being any good on grass, especially with weight on back and/or towing chipper. Also, would drives take as much punishment as rwd set up?

Breathable work t-shirts ?

Sounds and looks amazing! Would like to go to that next time

Long shot but maybe he’s totally satisfied but lining things up for future work. of the clients that pay promptly it’s no biggy to do an extra bit of admin now and again when you consider all the hassle and admin the slow payers generate
